Just found out what battery names mean...

[SRusackas]

This may be old-hat info for some, but after months of using these batteries, I was finally told what the numbers mean.
For example, an 18650 battery, the number translates to 18mm (diameter) x 65.0mm (long)
So an 18350 battery is 18mmx35.0mm.
Just thought that might be handy for new vapers to know!

I remember when I finally learned that.

A jumble of numbers I could never keep straight finally fell into place.

Good to know but also good to know some Mods will only properly take flat top/ non nipple batteries.

Thanks for that, OP! I'm new to vaping, but not to fabricating, and I'm already thinking of battery mods that I'd like to fiddle with down the road.

I wish the manufacturers and resellers would identify the button top and flat top batteries with an "A" and "B" designation for if the battery has a "nipple" or not, and if the device requires it or not.
Ex: eVic requires a 18650-B battery, telling you it needs the flat-top style.
This should be easier for the consumer.

I don't know.. To keep with the "duh" naming convention, wouldn't F for flat and B for button be even better?

 

[SRusackas]

Yeah, anything would be good! Even male or female. Happy or frowny face.

That would make too much sense ya big silly.

Not to be the typical Male, but nipple top/NT works for me. Lol

JSYK – The actual size of a battery can Vary slightly from the Numbers. Some are right on th money. Some are a Tad Longer.
